the colonists of Jamestown during times of famine and economic hardships with their advanced agricultural techniques. Despite losing land, the natives’ value of land enabled to accept the colonists as allies not enemies. In 1854, the leader of the Suquamish tribe, Chief Seattle, proclaimed, “All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man... the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.” The Indians believed that the all living entities were universally entitled to use the

There were many issues causing problems with communications as were primitive methods used communicating.

In 1855, the Treaty of Point Elliott was signed, establishing the Suquamish Port Madison, Tulalip, Swin-a-mish, and Lummi reservations for Native American Tribes in the Puget Sound area, including Snoqualmie, to hunt, fish, and live on, ceding the rest of the land to the American settlers in exchange for nearly nothing at

Frederick Douglass was a former slave abolitionist who fought to change America and the Africans who were enslaved in it. Chief Seattle was the leader of the Suquamish Tribe and he too was determined to change the citizen’s perspective about how his people were being treated. Both authors wrote compelling letters/speeches to the President to convince him and the citizens to spark change for their race by using

There are 4 significant tribes who border each other in the area that despise one another. The first tribe in the north is the Chief Suquamish with the tribe of earth. The second tribe in the south is the Chief Nayeli with the tribe of water. The third tribe in the west is the Chief Quidel with the tribe of fire. And the fourth tribe in the east is the Chief Kaska with the tribe of air. While they are enemies and at war with each other, the Goddess decides peace should be made. In the tribe of air

ABSTRACT The purpose of this experiment was to see how the amount of baking soda dissolved in vinegar would affect the pH of the vinegar. We conducted the experiment by testing different amounts of baking soda in constant amounts of vinegar, and dropping the solutions on pH paper. By comparing the colors on the pH paper to a list of colors in relation to numbers on the pH scale, we were able to find out that as more baking soda is added, the pH of the solution goes up as well.

has survived much worse than us. Mark Rowland in the excerpt“Two Pictures” describes how everything live in unity as communities. He claims that “Every organism is a collective,”(Rowland, 1) perfectly summarizing my idea. Chief Seattle from the Suquamish tribe believed this too. In a speech titled Respect he tells what must happen if he was to sell his land to the white man. He said “For whatever happens to … All things are connected”(Seattle,line 96-97). All these people believe that we are a part

this right for themselves they failed to provide any protection for the victims of violent crimes on the Native American reservations. The federal government had taken this right through the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court decision, Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe, 435 U.S. 191, 98 S.Ct. 101, 55 L.Ed.2d. 209, 1978, created a friction that

“Basically,” a mechanic told me, “you can do anything short of killing somebody.” In 1978, the Supreme Court case Oliphant v. Suquamish stripped tribes of the right to arrest and prosecute non-Indians who commit crimes on Indian land. If both victim and perpetrator are non-Indian, a county or state officer must make the arrest. If the perpetrator is non-Indian and the victim an enrolled

These include Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock, Tee-Hit-Ton, and Oliphant v. Suquamish. He talks about how these cases, especially the last one, have laid a rotten foundation for Indian Law (Edrich 229). The students job will be to research each of these cases and learn the extent of what happened, and how they affected the foundations
